Liverpool - the very pool of life! The iconic Royal Liver Building, home to Liver Birds Bertie & Bella at the beating heart of this great city. Makes a great Christmas present this would! dakesart.etsy.com/listing/16…

Hey @wextweets, reckon you can do better? Do you test your 24-70 L USM 2.8s?
How disappointing @mpbcom - first lens faulty with the infamous Canon Err01. Ok, these things happen. Replacement has zoom ring issue (feels obstructed travel) and another Err01! Do they not test these things when listing? 😡 And no reply to my email.

Check out 3M™ Hot Melt Adhesive 3738 TC 5/8" x 2" Glue Sticks. 5Kg box ebay.io/m/Qcbipv #eBay via @eBay_UK If you use industrial glue sticks then grab yourself a big saving on these, when they're gone, they're gone!

There's lots of empty, derelict or void commercial buildings around these days. If it's yours, check out the advice from NW Fire Solutions about avoiding fire risks. Call 'em, much easier conversation than an awkward one with your insurance broker! nwfiresolutions.co.uk/blog/w… #fire

Oh no! @marksandspencer First time ever I’ve had manky food from you. When I opened them, all rotten inside. How did they get past farm QA? Do they get frozen in storage? Is it a plot by the radish revolutionaries to target Colin’s snacks?

Is the City getting uglier? livpost.co.uk/the-one-rule... Good article from @liverpoolpost This is why the City lost UNESCO World Heritage status. 😡 Want heritage? Here ya go, have a shipping container. What a shame developers couldn’t provide some space within the building…

FFS @AsdaServiceTeam @asda 😡 Once again alcohol missed off the order and refund automatically declined so I have to waste my time ringing in. And your order email has an out of date phone number on! Attention to detail much?

So do you suggest I switch to @Tesco @Morrisons @sainsburys or simply send the butler to @waitrose?

Great piece of journalism from @liverpoolpost & @jlaverick99 - good to see quality proper journalism in this City after the dross that the Echo has become.
Today's piece by @jlaverick99 is a must read on the flag movement across the UK: The men who raised the flags - Nigel Farage says this summer’s movement was led by ‘ordinary people’ expressing their patriotism. That’s not what we found livpost.co.uk/the-men-who-ra…

Hey #photography peeps. I’m looking to bias more towards my photography so thinking of a rebrand (here, Bluesky & Insta) - which of these sound best to you? GrumpyOldGeezer Photography should also be an option 🤣

Mersey click is also an option (Liverpool based)

First job of the morning, pop this lot back together. But at least Lightroom might stop complaining about running out of temporary space now…😄

Hey @seftoncouncil can I recycle these or not? Your website suggests at least one of these perfectly recycle items isn’t accepted. When are you going to recycle all plastics? Hate sending them to landfill. @SeftonGreens what do you think?
